BARINAS, Venezuela (AP) — Looks as if the U.S. soccer team's trip to Venezuela is going to be a short one. Four days after being routed by a superior Argentina squad in their Copa America opener, the youthful Americans were humbled even further Monday night in a 3-1 loss to Paraguay that put them on the brink of elimination.
